[GRASS-dev] robots.txt blocking grass 4/5 docs

Hi,

I notice that now grass 4/5 docs are blocked from search engines by
robots.txt.

Is it really a good idea? there is some interesting info which is useful
to mine from time to time. e.g. the old v.in.gshhs man page which is not
present in grass 6.

AFAIR some of the old man pages were never fully "ported" to grass 6 and
good info is only in the grass 5 pages. Often the new grass 6 version is
very terse. I think there is some old RT bug/wish about that.


so what's the bad behaviour that makes this necessary?


curious,
Hamish
